SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Summary of Information About the Project/Document The draft Toxicological Review of Propionaldehyde is a new assessment and provides scientific information on the effects pertaining to exposure to propionaldehyde. Propionaldehyde was nominated by the EPA Office of Air and Radiation in 2000 and 2001 and by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards in 2003 as a chemical listed for monitoring under the Clean Air Act. Propionaldehyde is a colorless liquid with a suffocating, fruity odor. It is used in the manufacturing of propionic acid and polyvinyl and other plastics, in the synthesis of rubber chemicals, and as a disinfectant and preservative. The chemical is released to the environment primarily through the combustion of wood, gasoline, diesel fuel, and polyethylene. Propionaldehyde is also a component of cigarette smoke and a food additive/flavoring agent. Although no studies on the effects of propionaldehyde administered by the oral route have been performed, based on its expected daily intake (below 1800 ug/day) and eventual metabolism in the citric acid cycle, it does not appear to be a safety concern for public health via ingestion. Thus, the most probable route E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM 02MYN1
